Rain lottery

[blueversi]

3/10" last time, MASSIVE dark cool days and ZERO falls to the soil? WTF?

NOT ONE T- storm or any thunder this summer, strange for us....better not RAIN all of August, really screw crops with second growth and WEEDS! Enjoy if you got rain, lottery yes...

Very spotty. 2/10 from the last forecast “event” then half inch at the yard the next night but only looks to have covered a mile and half to 2 miles swath. Land 5 miles away nothing.

Thunderstorm rolling by close enough to cool the air and rustling the trees.
First thunder I have heard in July.
Can't buy a rain.

Same here

.75 in today . First real rain since May.

After virtually no rain in July forecast for next week is monsoons, also showing same rains for further up north where the fires are, hopefully forecast comes true. This rain is almost to late but will still help.

Will be interesting if it actually can break through the dry wall and come north
Far too late for most crop here but some canola and later cereals
pasture absolutely need a recharge and definitely the forest North desperately needs a lot of rain . Lakes are very low in the north

Windy has some drought and moisture overlays on their maps

Looks to have higher definition that the government ones?
Who woulda thunk that was possible?

Also moisture deficiency by area.

Areas to the NE of here have had more rain (and hail) this week than the crop has had to grow on since seeding at the beginning of May. Not sure that is winning or losing the rain lottery. I have had close to 1.5" between Sunday evening and last evening and am hoping that is it until the crop has been salvaged and put into the bin. The last thing I want to do is try scraping a small crop out of the mud. I think the wheat will make 35 and the barley better at 70. This is on solonetzic ground. Much of the better ground in area will not be doing much better though. Late seeded crops could benefit from recent rains. Turn that alarm on snooze until June in the spring.

Might as well not rain here now
Too late to do much good and would just harm pulses
Got a good 1/2 crop if we are lucky
3.5 mm out of the last big rain event and forecast looks bleak now as expected
